OPENING THE RESERVE.
The question of opening tbo Cns.
cade forest reserve to the pasturage
of stock is one agitating the people
nlong the eastern slope of the Cas
cade mountains, just at present side
tracking all other questions. There
are not less than :io0,000 sheep pas
tured on the reservation, or that were
pastured there previous to the recent
order prohibiting them. As spring
opens, these immense Hooks must
find pasturage, and being shut off
from their accustomed mountain
ranges, they will be forced to find
feeding grounds on the foot-hills and
in portions of the oountiy now pas
tured solely by cattle. The resnlt
will not only be disastrous to the
sheep industry, but by overcrowding
the pastures left will react on the
cattlemen. In the meanwhile the
factions are quarreling as to what is
best for all.
One proposition is to throw the
whole reservation, excepting small
reserves, open to the pasturage of
stock. Another is to have a superin
tendent who will assign grazing
grounds to the different .flocks; and
yet another to open that part south
of the "Warm Springs icservation
to sheep, and make the portion
north of it only subject to pasturage
of cattle.
The proposition to have a super
intendent who would assign feeding
grounds originated in
the mind Of
some person not two degrees re
moved from imbecility, and was
probably the means devised for get
ting a job for himself. The other
proposition about making part of the
reservation open only for cattle is a
tlifferont affair: but still impractica
ble, for whatever else is done, con
gress nor the department is not going
to make one law for one part and
another law for another part. It is
going to be a difficult matter to get
the reservation opened at all, and
unless the effort is combined, gen
eral and unanimous, it might as well
be abandoned.

"We are told Air. Steele desires to
lie sent to "Washington as the repre
sentative of the sheepmen, to assist
congress
i
in straightening out the
angle. Tin's would
be a nice little
trip for Mr. Steele, but what he could
accomplish is more than the man of
nverage mind can figure out. H our
senators and congressmen cannot get
what we want, by what power divine
loes"W. G. Steele expect to move
to action the powers that be? He
is only an embryo toad, so to speak,
wuuii at, nome, unu in tlio great po
litical sea at "Washington he would
Le as hopelessly lost as a tadpole in
the Pacific ocean. If we nre mis
taken ; if Mv. Steele, in his capacity
of a private citizen can accomplish
more than our whole congressional
delegation, then in the name and in
terest of the great commonwealth of
Oregon, let the next legislature in
Test him with the senatorial totv
and he will be all.poverful.
In the meanwhile factional fighls
must he dropped and the whole peo
ple demand the opening of the re
serve to the pasturage of stock;
other matters can be attended to
afterwards.

A Peculiar Dllndncfw Owned by Sleeping
In tho Moonlight.
Three cases of "moonblink" occurred
on- the British Kteamshlp Acanthus,
which reached Philadelphia tlio other
tluy. After the low-lyinfr hills f rlnginp
the. shores of Untavin faded from view
on 'the afternoon of July 14 for 80 duys
her crew of 00 officers and seamen saw
no lnnd, sighted no vessel and encoun
tered no storm. Among the crew are
three seamen who, during the run
across the. Indian ocenn, suffered terri
bly from sudden blindness at night, the
result of that strange disease of the
eyes prevalent, in the tropics, and
known to sailors as "moonblink." One
bright, moonlight night, while the
Acanthus whh steaming across the In
dian ocean, mm of them finding his
berth in the forecastle too uncomforta
bly hot, went out. and lay upon the
deck. The moon, wan Hearing her full
ami shone almost directly overhead.
When the watch was changed at. mid
night lie. was awakened nnd was horri
lied to find himself blind. At first the
captain thought the man might be
shamming to avoid going on duty, but
tin investigation was made, and it was
found that he could not see. although
his eyes were wide open. The calamity
was at once diagnosed as n case of
"moonmiulc, and the. captain cau
tioned his men afainst. running such
risks. When day began to break sight
began to return, and by sunrise he
could see as well as if nothing unusual
had happened. All of that day the
case formed the chief topic of conver
sation and when night came two more
men determined to test the effect of the
moon. After n two hours' nap in the
full glare of the moon both men were
awakened totally blind. An order from
the captain prevented any further ex
perimenting in that line during the rest
of the voyage.
MANY STILL SPEAK GAELIC.
Ily ." Mcimin mi Kxtinct I.ttiiguiici

Spile of Its I'lultlon Hun-.
A new appointment has been made
from Wakrford t,o the chair of protes
tor of Gaelic in Maynooth college, Ire
land. The new appointee is a. member
3f the Gaelic league of Dublin, and
was the first editor of the Arehaeolog
.ml Journal, of Waterford. The opin
ion is very general that Gaelic is an
extinct, language, or one nearly e.v
.met, and the labors of the Gaelic no
ciety in New York to revive its use
have lent some color to that opinion.
Nevertheless, a.s figures show, the
Gaelic toirgun is most tenacious, and,
according to the last reports, is spoken,
though not exclusively, by 1,000,000
persons in the British Isles 000,000 ir
Ireland, 350,000 in Wa.les and 2L'0,000 in
Scotland.
Though English is the oilicial lan
guage of all these countries, the pop
ularity of English increases slowly de
apitc the disadvantage under which
those who use Gaelic labor, that of hav
ing no -established grammar and no
recognition in an official way. Gaelic
fulfills the colloquial requirements of
the farmers and fishermen in the coun
ties remote from the large cities, sonie
v. hat as the Basque language continues
to be popular in the northern provinces
of Spain.
In this country Gaelic has made little
headway, though many patriotic Irish
men have by various methods endeav
ored to acquaint others less patriotic
with its advantages. While this use of
most European languages has about
doubled in 7" years, live times as many
persons speak English as did in 1S20.

ORDER FOR BEER.

lilnj; of Corru.
Japanese merchants of Chemulpo, in
the kingdom of Corca, were very much
surprised recently when the kinT or
dered 30,.)00 bottles of beer in one lot
says the. San Francisco Chronicle. The
entire .lapanese colony was not pre
pared for .such a sudden and extensive
order of beer and they put their heads
together, wondering' whether it was
the court or the body ,'aard of thekin(4
which Inul suddenly developed such
a 'iffantie thirst. A cable, wan imme
dianily dispatched to .lapan and the
beer ordored to Imj shipjied at. once, so
that it miffht be delivered to the royal
master of the house in due time. The
beer arrived promptly, and at the same
time the explanation of the eonundruii,
was fjiven to the Japanese, for almost
on 'the samp day a HusKian man-of-war
arrived there and the entire crew wu.s
imited to be quests of the kiiiff of
Corca, who thus .showed his gratitude
to the Russians for the shelter accord
ed him at the linsamn embassy during1
the recent revolutionary disturbances.
The .'100 marinea on board were very
tifrreeably surprised when his royal
